 Checkers AI engine
 
+For Ruby 1.9.1

 Right now I'm working on the search.
 
 To test
 
 % load "checkers.rb"
 % b = Board.new
-% b.setup
+% b.play
 
-and then to look
+also look at 
 
 % b.search(TEAM_1)

+Right now entering jump moves or the AI playing jumps in the .play() interface may not work
